OK, this is it, the Release Candidate is a go!
From here on in new features will not be added, only bugs and minor tweaks will be applied, so we're really looking for those bugs or small oversights that may have occurred at some stage during dev, and we can only find those by actually using the theme in real everyday site and theme builds, so time to get hacking ;)
There were quite a few changes from beta1:
- Google fonts got a total overhaul. I was never really happy with it so when it was suggested we use a text field and allow users to just paste in the font name and make a few settings I jumped on it. Its now more flexible, faster and requires far less maintenance, and you are not held to the list the theme maintains, use any font the moment it gets released on Google. Its a win win and while a little harder to use, its just a lot better. #1534416: Use text input instead of select for Google fonts option
- Stylesheet load failure warning system. This was built to ease migration and deployment issues for large sites using GIT or other VCS that migrate on a daily basis from dev to staging etc but do not version control the files directory. This warnings tell the admin the theme settings must be re-saved to regenerate the CSS files: #1543990: Set message if generated files are missing, document file generation
- Old generated files are now removed, instead of saving them all.
